iPads

Once again students will be allowed to keep their loaner iPads with them throughout the summer months. This will provide students with a device to continue learning opportunities over the summer.

If you will not be attending a Bend-La Pine Schools program or school next year, please return your iPad, charging brick and cord to your current school. Schools will be communicating their return schedule directly to families. If you will be attending a different Bend-La Pine Schools program or school next year, keep the iPad you have and take it with you to your new site in September.

Sometimes plans change during the summer. If you find yourself moving out of the area or leaving the district during the summer and need to return your iPad, please drop it off Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m. to noon at the Education Center located at 520 Wall Street, Bend. Please remember to also return your charging brick and cord at this time. The fee for a missing cord is $5 and a missing charging brick is $20.

DISTRICT ISSUED HOTSPOTS

All students who have a district-issued hotspot at their home are asked to return the hotspot and charging equipment to the school front office by June 18. Service to all hotspots will end on June 18. Any hotspot that has not been returned to school will cease to function beyond this date.

What will school look like next year?

From Interim Superintendent Lora Nordquist:

Full Article HERE

As we move into the final weeks of the school year, I know many families are beginning to think about what school might look like when we return in the fall. I am pleased to share that our plan is that on Wednesday, Sept. 8, our schools will open for the first day of school. Schools will be in-person, every day of the week, with a full-day schedule. We expect our bell times to return to pre-pandemic times, in large part because we will be able to resume fuller bus runs.

Details will continue to evolve and, as we have learned all too well, unforeseen health and safety circumstances may lead to changes, but we expect our school days will look much more like they did pre-pandemic.

As more students and more of our community members are able to become vaccinated, we anticipate we will have fewer issues with quarantines and contact tracing. Additionally, with the opening of Caldera High School this fall, most of our high schools will see an ease in crowding in our hallways and common spaces.

Athletics and activities will become more normalized and, while not as certain, we believe we will see a return to valued school experiences like in-person music concerts, plays, dances, school-wide assemblies, field trips and more.

We hope for a phased-in return of visitors and volunteers in our schools – we have missed seeing you in our hallways and classrooms!

Some of the safety precautions put in place are likely to continue next year. We will continue to follow the Ready Schools, Safe Learners guidance issued by the Oregon Department of Education and Oregon Health Authority.

For families who choose not to return to in-person schooling, our robust online program will continue, with many of this year’s enhancements folded into Bend-La Pine Schools Online: local teachers’ support and opportunities for live instruction via Webex, for example.

Educating your children is a privilege that we take very seriously and we appreciate your trust with their health and well being. I am proud of our staff members for taking on new challenges this year. And when I visit classrooms, I am thrilled to see our students learning, collaborating, connecting and adapting to challenges.

We are returning to brighter days. Thank you for your partnership today and every day.

Save the Date! Proficiency Day (May 4th)

The 2020-2021 school year has been a difficult one for many, and while we are happy to have all students back at school, we acknowledge that some students may still be struggling to regain lost learning or credit recovery from Semester 1. At La Pine High School, we are committed to connecting with every student who received an NG in Semester 1 and offering opportunities for learning and credit recovery so that every student can be on track as we enter summer and a new school year.

La Pine High School will be holding a “Proficiency Day” on Tuesday May 4th. Our goal for this day is for students who struggled academically during CDL, need to regain credit, or who are currently not on track to graduate to have a day to connect with their teachers. This day will be an incredible opportunity for these students to have smaller class sizes, get individualized support, develop a plan, and connect with teachers they had during Semester 1.

Students will have the chance on this day to move thru their Semester 1 schedule (all class periods 1 – 7) where they may get more individualized lessons to highlight missed content, be given direct instruction, or have an opportunity to discuss assignments they need to complete for credit recovery. Our hope is that students who received an NG in Semester 1 will leave the day with proficiency in that subject area, which may translate to an earned credit, and allow the student to get back on track academically.

Students who received an NG in one or more classes, who are not on track to graduate, or who received an email about Credit Recovery are required to join us on this day. Students will be able to ride a bus or be dropped off and be provided lunch, like a normal school day. Students will go thru their Semester 1 schedule where teachers will give instruction, directions, or develop a plan to move the student to academic proficiency and credit recovery. As well, students will have quiet, working environments with access to technology and resources to complete these tasks.

Students who are on track to graduate and/or have not received a NG in Semester 1, are excused to stay home for the day. There will be no NEW content being taught on May 4th. If students who are on track choose to attend school on May 4th, they will be provided a space for general study hall.

iPads

It was verified this week that iPads will not be turned in this June. Due to summer learning opportunities, we will ask our students to hold on to their iPads (just like they did last spring).

Hawk News!

4 JROTC Units competed in Color Guard, Drill, Marksmanship and Physical fitness on Saturday at La Pine High School. Cadets from La Pine, Mountain View, Crook County and Redmond high schools were able to showcase the efforts they have been putting into the JROTC program core competition categories. The competition season typically runs from October through April however the entire season was cancelled for the Pacific Northwest region to comply with COVID protocols. La Pine High School dominated the culminating event – a functional fitness field meet – over second place Mountain View by a decisive 5-1 score. For Freshman and other first year cadets, this was a great opportunity to see what a regular season competition looks like and for Seniors the event was their final hoorah for their time in the program.

Regional Partnership Brings Free COVID-19 Vaccine Clinics for Area High School Students

Nearly 4,000 local high school students from communities throughout Central Oregon will be eligible to take part in upcoming free vaccination clinics at local high schools, thanks to a regional partnership with local school districts, Mosaic Pediatrics, La Pine Community Health Center, St. Charles Health System, Deschutes County Health Services and Crook County Health Department.

The first event of its kind in Oregon, the High School COVID-19 Vaccination Clinics project will reduce barriers to vaccine accessibility among our youth while building healthier communities worldwide. Beginning next week, youth 16 and older, one of the fastest-growing COVID-19 positive age groups in the state, will be able to receive their first vaccine – free – at school in Central Oregon.

“This effort will remove socio-economic, language and transportation barriers – increasing access for students, thus helping to slow the spread of the virus and protect those around them – grandparents, teachers and bus drivers, family members and friends,” said Ellie Millan, PNP and Pediatrics Clinic Medical Director at Mosaic Medical. “The vaccines are powerful tools that, in conjunction with other safety measures like face masks, good hygiene and physical distancing, can help keep our schools open and students in class with their teachers and peers.”

Like their adult counterparts, youth who are fully vaccinated and are not symptomatic will not be required to quarantine if deemed a close contact to a COVID-19 positive individual – keeping fully vaccinated students in classrooms and participating in athletics, activities and other enrichment activities.

Each high school will host two clinics before the end of the school year, allowing students who choose to participate to be fully vaccinated before the summer:

Bend Senior High School: April 29 and May 20

La Pine High School: May 6 and May 27

Mountain View High School: May 4 and May 25

Crook County High School: May 4 and May 25

Summit High School: May 6 and May 27

Redmond High School: May 7 and May 26

Ridgeview High School: May 11 and June 1

Sisters High School: May 13 and June 3

Madras High School: Completed in April

Students from area private schools, alternative learning options and charter schools will be invited to attend the clinic nearest to their school location.

Summit High School senior Julia Burdsall already received a COVID-19 vaccination and is excited that high schools will host free vaccination clinics in the coming weeks.

“Being fully vaccinated is such a relief – it feels awesome!,” said Burdsall. “These free clinics at school are going to be a great and easy way for students at our high school to get vaccinated and I hope students who are eligible participate. Getting vaccinated was important to me because I want to do my part to protect my family and community.”

Julia is one of many student ambassadors who are helping spread the word to students throughout the region, encouraging fellow students to get vaccinated as soon as they are eligible.

Families are encouraged to discuss vaccinations and make a decision about their student’s participation together, and to learn more about vaccines through trusted sources such as the CDC, Oregon Health Authority, or their doctor.

“These clinics are a shining example of the incredible public-private partnerships we have in Central Oregon, where agencies are working together to help create safer and healthier communities” said Muriel DeLaVergne-Brown, Public Health Administrator, Crook County Health Department. “We are thrilled that these clinics will help our students get back closer to normal – and be able to enjoy the summer safely with their friends and families.”

Mosaic Pediatrics is the medical sponsor of the Bend, Redmond and Sisters area clinics. Deschutes County Health Services, in partnership with La Pine Community Health Center and St. Charles Health System, is delivering the La Pine area clinic. Crook County Health Department will offer the vaccine to students in Crook County.

State Testing

The United States Department of Education (ED) responded to Oregon’s strategic waiver request on Friday, March 26, 2021. ED did NOT approve Oregon’s request to suspend state testing for 2021. However, there are opportunities regarding what spring 2021 summative assessment expectations will look like in Oregon.

What we know right now:

State testing (OSAS) is happening but the tests are shorter and not all grade levels are required to take all subjects (for HS only 11th graders are required to test)
Opt-out procedures are the same as other years – Opt-out forms are below
Testing window is April 13 – June 11.
Testing data will be reported publicly but not used for accountability.

June 4: Graduation, 6PM

Last week of school: Some of you have wondered about what the last week of school schedule will look like this year. Now that we are all-in, and assuming we stay all-in for the remainder of this year, we will be following the original calendar during these last days of this school year. Specifically, during the last week of school, Monday and Tuesday are “regular” days, Wednesday is a “regular” (full-length) day, Thursday will be an “SIW release” day, and Friday is a work day for teachers and last day.

The Show Will Go On!

The La Pine Performing Arts Program started rehearsals for The Lion King Jr. after Spring Break. It is the first time in over a year that music and theatre could both rehearse in person since the cancellation of last spring’s musical due to COVID. With limited rehearsal time, restrictions, and a variable of unknowns, the program chose to do a “junior” musical that is shorter but still has many of the fun elements a standard-length musical has! The production has 11 high school students and 4 middle school students participating. Currently, rehearsals are occurring in front of the school to maximize time and space to rehearse in a safe way according to guidelines. While there are added challenges this year with singing and audience restrictions, masks, and six-feet distancing, it is so good to be back singing, dancing, and acting together! The show will premiere in some capacity on May 20 and May 21, but may be seen virtually, outside, or limited inside depending on the current county guidelines on those dates! For now, students are busy working to “be prepared” with their Pride and embracing the “Hakuna Matata” lifestyle that the 2020-2021 school year has taught us!

Advisory

We are keeping Advisory on Wednesdays . . . and now we can do it in person! We have created some momentum with Advisory and we felt it was beneficial to keep it in place. It’s still only 15 minutes (not long), but it will allow us to do check-ins, announcements, grade-checks, and some fun team-building activities.

Athletics

We are transitioning quickly to spring sports! HERE are our events this week, including dismissal times.

All athletes who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 in the past 6 months MUST have this form completed by Wednesday, April 14th to continue participating in any district sponsored athletic activity. This does not apply to students in general physical education. The completed forms need to be sent to the school nurse for final clearance. Nurses will be asked to initial and date the form and send to the athletic secretary or the athletic director (whichever the school/nurse prefers). Once athletics receives the initialed and dated form from the nurse, the athlete will be cleared to return to athletics.

It measures a young adult’s strengths and potential for success. It can be taken for many reasons such as learning to take placement test, military aptitude, and career choices. ASVAB test scores are broken down by the individual subtests and their composites. One of the most critical of these scores is the Armed Forces Qualification Test, which is used to determine if you are qualified to join the military service. Each service determines the qualification AFQT score for enlisting in their service. You can take this as early as your Sophomore year! You can take it as many times as needed to receive a high score. This year we will be taking the test on the computer.

10 JROTC Cadets from La Pine High School began work on a community dog park at Rosland Campground. The project, sponsored by the Mayor’s Office, will be completed exclusively by the La Pine NJROTC Unit using recycled materials. It will likely take 3-4 work days, a total of about 200 person hours of work, to complete. There are also plans to build a new trail that connects the two boat launches within the campground. In the fall and early winter, the NJROTC unit completed a trail work project that connected several trails on the campground property which allow walkers and XC skiers to make a loop along the border of the property.

What is forecasting? Watch this video.

What you need to do:

STEP 1. Check your transcript so you know what course you need to forecast for. How? StudentVue -> Course History -> Unofficial Transcript (blue button). Video Tutorial: https://youtu.be/G4kM8aunOQU

STEP 2. Forecast in the google form. Watch video tutorial first, then complete form. All course offerings and descriptions are embedded in the forecasting form.

Once your forecast selections are submitted, you will receive an email with your course selections so you have a record of your request and can use that information for step 3 (more information will be sent).

There will be NO schedule changes next year. If students don’t forecast, we will be creating schedules for them and we are NOT changing schedules.

Nutrition Services is planning to have 3 grab and go sites (Bend High, MVHS, and La Pine High) on Monday, March 22^nd from 11:30-12:30 for Spring Break. They plan to serve 5 breakfasts, 5 lunches, and 5 suppers in 1 bag on that day.

Hawk News!

Like many things this past year, the performing arts has taken a hard hit both in the world and at LPHS. After having to cancel our musical last year, our theatre arts students have not done a show in over 15 months. Performing Arts still is very limited in what we can do, so our Theatre Arts 3 class has been playing around with some ideas and concepts.

Currently, Ms. Spring has an advanced Theatre class (Theatre Arts 3) and they created a project. Posed with the questions “What is Theatre? Why is theatre important? And, what is LPHS Theatre?” Ms. Spring’s students went about to answer this question in a fun way.
Students worked in their individual cohorts to create a poem, then collaborated on their Wednesday WebEx to combine their poems. Then students divided the lines up evenly. Last week, they planned and filmed one another reciting the poems. This video is 100% student written, produced, and directed. Ms. Spring just lent them her editing skills to pull it all together.

While it is not a show or a production in the typical sense the students are very proud of their work!
Hopefully LPHS Theatre will entertain everyone again on stage soon! Thanks for your continued support! 🙂

Attention!!!! Forecasting

Hello LPHS Hawk Students and Families! How time flies….we are getting ready to forecast for your 21-22 SCHOOL YEAR ALREADY!

Forecasting will be all virtual this year, and unfortunately, students will have to do this on their own time. We encourage students to use our office hours and/or IPSI for this process.

What you need to do:

STEP 1. Check your transcript. https://youtu.be/G4kM8aunOQU
STEP 2. Forecast for your classes March 8-March 12. You will receive a form and a video tutorial via email on Monday, March 8th. DUE Friday, March 12 at 4 pm
- Once your forecast selections are submitted, you will receive an email with your course selections so you have a record of your request and can use that information for step 3.
STEP 3. Request course selections in Synergy March 15-19. You will receive a video tutorial via email on Monday, March 15th. You will use the selections sent to your email and register for classes via Course Request in Synergy. DUE Friday, March 19 at 4 pm

There will be NO schedule changes next year. If students don’t forecast, we will be creating schedules for them and we are NOT changing schedules. Instead, LPHS Counseling will be offering students small group support in organization skills and stress management skills, both will include support in asking for help and working through change. At registration, they will be able to sign up for this support instead of changing their schedules.

How do I know if I am on track to graduate?

By the end of 9th grade year, I will have completed 6.5 credits
By the end of 10th grade year, I will have completed 13 credits
By the end of 11th grade, I will have completed 19.5 credits
By the end of 12th grade, I will have completed 26 credits

If you are credit deficient, you should currently be in IPSI after school.

Sophomore, Kennedy May, entered the Central Oregon Scholastic Art & Writing awards contest and won a Gold Key for her untitled art piece. She also received a $300 pre-college financial award from the Pacific Northwest College of Art as recognition of her achievement.

Giving back!

Our Life Skills staff & students have been giving back to the Community.
Due to COVID they have had to change their classroom program. Since they are no longer able to transport students in vehicles to go out on work crews, they have had to get creative. What better than giving back to our community? Our students have been walking off campus to help clean up and clear around local businesses. They have been working hard out in the elements!

On Wednesday, February 3rd, six NJROTC Cadets took part in the Secretary of the Navy Marksmanship Competition. This competition, which pits marksman from all of the United States as well as Cadets from Germany, Italy, Guam and several other locations, is conducted each winter. The Cadets shot precision air rifles from the prone, kneeling and standing positions, and were scored on 30 individual targets. The targets were sent to the Secretary of the Navy Staff and will be scored by the end of the month. Cadets will typically travel to compete 6-8 times per season but with the restrictions on in person competition this was the next best thing.

In total there were six Cadets who participated – Freshmen Eden Kennedy and Kaden Hampton, Sophomores Jordan Osterhoudt and Nikaija Irving and Juniors Aiden and Kyrsten Kenline. Among the group, Nikaija Irving was top male shot and Eden Kennedy was the top female shot.
